I'd like to change the std exhaust with a sport-type one.
I've read some about the above mentioned model; any experience-suggestion?
Differences in performance,torque, sound.....
Thanks

Performance differences will be nil. No exhaust will add more than 10hp unless you do the rear exit headers from FRPP which are just too loud.

I don't think Ida sells that exhaust separate anymore. There is a sticky up top with all of them being run at the first rally.

Also, I would consider Heffner's - In my opinion - one of the best!

From what I've seen of the various manufacturers' products, it is really a matter of taste: obviously there are slight sound/decible differrences, slightly various design configurations, different coatings/finishes, different tips, different mounting brackets, etc. You cannot go wrong with any of them.
Now, that being said my tastes led me to Stillen and I could not be happier.:thumbsup
BTW, congrats on your first post!:banana

Avoid the IDA. Mine would not keep flange bolts .....when I replaced with the Heffner and took off the IDA...found it cracked also...left calls with IDA and there were not returned...
